SPECIAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
During June (2021) we are offering a special call for submissions. Unable to settle on just one theme, we’re going with two. Submissions open on June 5.
ORIGIN STORIES or LOOSELY CONNECTED TO WINNIE THE POOH
We’re allowing relatively broad interpretations of the themes, but there are some rules.
Submission fee is two thousand dollars. Just kidding. If you don’t want to spend two thousand dollars, you can submit for free. But consider donating something! If we get enough donations, we’ll pay writers now and in the future
Stories must be previously unpublished (and that includes social media/personal blogs). We ask for first publication rights and the right to display the work for the duration of the journal
Stories must be strictly under 1000 words long
Fiction and nonfiction are both considered, but poetry will be returned unread I’m afraid
Send to jellyfishreview@outlook.com and you can address me as Dear Chris or Dear Jellyfish
We don’t open attachments, so paste your story into the body of an email
Submissions will close on the last day of June, timezones flexible
Please respect the themes. We know they’re challenging, but we are not open to regular submissions, only to this special call. Please let us know in your email which theme you’re responding to.
We aim to reply to everything within a week. If you haven’t heard from us by then, feel free to query. Thanks!
One submission only per writer

Jellyfish Review Targets for 2021 calendar year
This is probably going to be a quiet time for us, but our target this year is for 50% of our published work to be by writers of colour.

Donations are welcome and have zero impact on our consideration of submissions
(Donations help us cover some of our costs, so please do consider giving something. Please consider giving lots – that would be lovely)
